him" As I stood in the pulpit and saw
them carrying the body up the aisle, felt
rs i'll could weep tears OF blood.
On one side the pulpit sat his little
child of eight years, a sweet, beautiful III
tie girl that have seen him hug convul-
siyely III his better moments. lie put on
her all Jewels. all diamonds. and gave her
all pictures aud toys, and then he would
90 away as if bounded by an evil spirit, TO
his cups and the house OF shame-a fool 10
the correction of the stocks. She looked
up wonderingly. She knew not what II
all meant She WAS not old enough to un-
derstand the sorrow of an orphan child.
On the other side the pulpit sat the men
who had ruined him; they were the men
who had poured the wormwood into the
orphans cup; they were the men who had
bound him hand and foot. ! knew them.
How did they seem 10 feel: Did the weep:
No. Did they say: What 4 pity that
so generous a man should he destroy
ed?" No. IDid they sigh repcnting-
lv after what they have done? No; they
sat there looking ~ vulture at the carcass
of lamb whose heart they have ripped
out. So they sat and looked ~ the coffin

lows Did they reform? | was told they

But there is a man who will not reform.
He say: IL won't reform" Well, then,
how many acts are there in tragedy |
believe five
Act the first of the tragedy: A young
man starting of from home parents and
sisters weeping to have him 90. Wagon
rising over the hill. Farewell kiss flung
back. Ring the bell and let the curtain
fall.
Act the second: The marriage altar.
Full organ. Bright lights. Long white
veil trailing through the aisle. PRAYER and
congratulation, and exclamation Of "How
well she looks
Act the third: woman waiting for
staggering steps. Old garments stuck into
the broken window pane Marks of haId-
ship on the face. The biting of the nails
of bloodlcss fingers. Neglect, and cruelty,
and despair. Ring the bell and let the
curtain drop.
Act the fourth: Three graves in a dark
place-gravc of the child that died
for lack of medicine, grave of the
wife that died of broken heart,
grave OF the man that died of dissipation.
OH what blasted heath with three
graves! Plenty of weeds, hut no flowers.
Ring the bell and let the curtain drop.
Act the fifth A destroyed souls eter-
nifty. No light. No music. No hope.
Anguish Coilng its serpents around the
heart. BlackncSs of darkness forever. But
| cannot look any longer. Woe! woe!
close my eyes to this last act of the
tragedy. Quick Quick! Ring the bell
and let the curtain drop. "Rejoice, q
young man in thy youth, and let thy
heart rejoice in the days of thy youth; but
know thou that for all these things God
will bring you into Judgment. "Thcr"

Yesterdays Cincinnati CommeyciaL-Ga-
zeifc had the following: Yesterday among
the visitors introduced on Change was the
venerable Commodore VIM. J. Kountz, of
PittAburg. Commodore KOuDtz, sixty
years ago, when but a mere lad, began bis
career ~ a bOatman on the Ohio riyeT.
Since then he has risen into great proni-
nence, and while not at the present time
actively engaged in river pursuits, yet be
is an enthusiast upon the future of the
great water highways In ISIS the
Commodore WAS the sole owner
Of thirteen different steamers all
Of them frst-cla~, and kept
busiiy engaged handling the im-
mense tonnage Of grain along the Missouri
River. Back in the 'iO's he introduced
the famous steamer Crystal Palace, that al
that time was looked upon as one Of the
wonders OF marine architecture In later
years he introduced onitbe floating palaces
Of the Ohio and Mississippi the double
stroke Hartupse engines, and alsO built
several one-chimDey boats that were er-
clusively used for freight purposes. The
Commodore il Of the opinion that the pas-
sage Of the Interstate Commerce law wAs
a beneficial thing for the river interests.
He says the boats Of the South are already
beginning TO feel the change in their busi
n.ss. The packets plying between st.
Louis and points along the Ten
nessee River have already iDcreas-
ed their freight rates from five cents
per hundred 10 twenty-five and thirty
cents, and they are still carrying a. much
as they can safely swim under. He says
the only thing interfering now 10 create
the biggest boom along the rivers for thirty
years past is the stubborn, old-fashioned
habits of the bOatmen themselves, who IL
seems are hard TO coax out Of the old Tut
they have allowed themselves To
follow one another in for several yean
past. Concerted action now among tbs
various lines would be productive OF much
good. not only 10 the boatmen themselves,
but to the whole shipping and travelling
community along the Ohio and Mississippi
valleys"
